Let´s make green beans great again. Seriously folks, these Spanish Green Beans with Garlic and Paprika are one of the best veggie dishes ever. Loaded with flavors, beyond easy to make and done in about 20 minutes. Serve these green beans as a side dish or even as a tapas appetizer.

The star of this dish is the humble green bean, which is an absolute stunner of a vegetable. Loaded with vitamins & minerals, they are a great source of fiber and they´re low in calories. In this recipe, we grabbed that ordinary green bean and turned into an extraordinary dish.

When I tell you this dish is beyond easy to make, I mean it´s beyond easy to make. Minimal ingredients and done in 20 minutes. Simplicity at its best. Like I always say, sometimes less is more, and with one taste of these Spanish green beans, you´ll find yourself eating green beans all the time 🙂 .

The secret to this simple dish is the smoked paprika, as this is what really flavors the green beans. For this recipe I used Zamouri Spices Sweet Smoked Paprika. This paprika has a beautiful & robust flavor and has the perfect balance of sweetness and smokiness. Thesmoked paprika is what gives this dish that ¨wow¨ factor.
